original owner wanted a higher price for the domain. It turns out that
Media Defender <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaDefender> was one of
the interested parties, and they probably paid thousands of dollars to
get the domain in their possession. Because of the huge amount of money
that's involved it is not likely that the domain will stay unused for a
long time.

Media Defender is hired by companies like the MPAA, BSA and RIAA to
track down people who try to download copyrighted content. They record
IP-addresses from BitTorrent trackers and other P2P networks. But they
also utilize more proactive methods such as uploading fake .torrent
files and setting up fake video download sites.

Luckily most BitTorrent site admins are aware of their shady practices
and remove these fake files from their sites before they can do any
harm. Pirate Bay admin Brokep offered his help to other BitTorrent
admins to help them identifying and removing these fake files, he told
TorrentFreak

ankruptcy-plank/> :

"Since the Miivi-incident we can't keep quiet about them anymore. We
want their employers to stop using them so they go bankrupt"
